DESCRIPTION: OFFERED FOR AUCTION IS THIS VERY BEAUTIFUL AUTHENTIC ANTIQUE STERLING SILVER CHARLES HORNER HATPIN. MAKERS MARKED WITH THE “CH” AND ALSO HAS 3 HALLMARK SYMBOLS (SEE PHOTO #8). THE ONLY ONE I CAN MAKE OUT IS THE LAST ONE, IT LOOKS LIKE AN “M”. (PHOTOS 5 & 6 SHOW THE ROW OF MARKINGS). IT HAS A LARGE FUNNEL TOP WITH A BEZEL SET LARGE CLEAR MULTI-FACETED CLEAR STONE IN THE TOP, THAT IS VERY CLEAR AND SPARKLY. THIS IS A GORGEOUS AND RARE CHARLES HORNER HATPIN. ORIGINAL JEWELERS FINDING, REALLY A STANDOUT HATPIN!!!! ALL SIDES ARE SHOWN. HOPEFULLY THE PHOTOS SHOW WHAT I AM DESCRIBING. I AM SURE YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!!! THE STEM IS STRAIGHT AND EXTREMELY SHARPLY POINTED. IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE IT HAS BEEN SHORTENED, AS IT IS EVEN AS CAN BE, AND I BELIEVE THIS IS THE ORIGINAL LENGTH IT WAS CREATED TO BE, THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF “RESHARPENING AT ALL. A MUST HAVE FOR THE SERIOUS COLLECTOR. THE PHOTOS JUST DON’T CAPTURE THE BEAUTY!!!!A GREAT HATPIN TO ADD TO ANY COLLECTION, AND A REAL PLEASER!!!!! PLEASE REVIEW ALL PHOTOS AND INFO PRIOR TO BIDDING, PHOTOS ARE PART OF THE OVERALL DESCRIPTION.
DETAILED CONDITON: EXCELLENT. NO CRACKS OR CHIPS. I CONSIDER THIS EXCELLENT, NO REPAIRS OR ALTERATIONS. TOPS HAS A COUPLE MINUSCULE TEENY PIN DOT DINGS, BUT THAT IS COMMENSURATE WITH AGE, AND THEY ARE VERY HARD TO SEE. THE TOP CRYSTAL HAS A COUPLE TEENY FLEABITES ON A COUPLE OF THE EDGE FACETS, AGAIN ONLY FROM AGE AND USE, NOT ABUSE. IT IS A VERY LARGE AND SPARKLY CRYSTAL. CORRECT JEWELERS FINDING. I SEE NO OTHER DAMAGE OTHER THAN MENTIONED ABOVE, JUST NORMAL WEAR AS IS EXPECTED WITH AN ITEM USED AND OF THIS AGE. I BELIEVE THIS HATPIN IS THE ORIGINAL LENGTH IT WAS MADE, AS IT SHOWS NO SIGNS AT ALL OF BEING RE-SHARPENED, OR HAVING ANY SIGNS OF AN UNEVEN POINT AND IT HAS IT’S ORIGINAL VERY SHARP POINT. SOME HATPINS WILL SHOW TARNISH/PATINA, AS MOST COLLECTORS LIKE TO HAVE THIS OPTION TO LEAVE OR TO CLEAN THEMSELVES. ALSO SOME PIN STEMS MAY ALSO HAVE TARNISH/PATINA/OXIDATION/RUST. ANY MAJOR CORROSION WILL BE MENTIONED. SOME PIN STEMS SHOW SOME SLIGHT “WAVE” SO MAY NOT BE PERFECTLY STRAIGHT. PHOTOS SHOW ALL ANGLES AND VIEWS OF THIS HATPIN, PLEASE SEE PHOTOS FOR BEST DESCRIPTION. SHOWS NORMAL VINTAGE WEAR AS EXPECTED WITH THESE GREAT OLD AND USED VICTORIAN JEWELRY PIECES. PLEASE REFER TO PHOTOS FOR FURTHER CONDITION. NORMAL AGE USE AND WEAR.
SIZE (APPROX. TO WITHIN 1/8″): TOTAL LENGTH OF HATPIN IS: 5 3/8″ LONG. TOP MEASURES: 1 3/8″LONG TO THE BOTTOM OF THE FINDING.
